J©L History of the Junior Class Lawrence Smith President Eleanor 1 laugh Arvine Green Vice President Secretary William Thiessen Treasurer Margaret Lynn Historian Three years ago thirty-three bright Freshmen entered the hospitable doors of Whiting High School, rather timidly. But gradually we picked up courage, and trying our best to act like upper-classmen, consulted the principal about having a Freshman meeting. We certainly felt proud to see the notice on the bulletin board: “Freshman Meeting Tonight.” We gathered in Miss Carhart’s room and Miss Carhart was chosen as class adviser. The officers were: Nick Keckich, President; Helen Moore, Vice President; Elizabeth Baumel, Secretary; and Arvine Green, Treasurer. Our Freshman year proved very satisfactory. We were just getting used to being called “Fresh-ies when we realized we were approaching the Sophomore year and about to bear the title of “upper clasmen.” After a few weeks as Sophomores we decided to have a class meeting. The officers elected were: Bill Thiessen, President; Elizabeth Baumel, Secretary; and Arvine Green, Treasurer. Our class adviser was to be Miss Paul. During this year many of the members showed their school spirit by entering into high school activities, both in athletics and oratory. % The officers for the class this year are: Lawrence Smith, President; Eleanor Haugh, Vice President; William Thiessen, Treasurer. The Junior class certainly have fame both in oratory and athletics, as members of the class have won many honors for the school. The boys on the first team are: Bill Thiessen, James Burke and Sylvester O’Connell. With the skill and courage of these boys the teams have won almost every game of the season. And in the Oratorical Contest the Juniors were successful in the preliminary as four of the members of the Junior Class spoke in the auditorium. And one of the members of the Junior Class, Helen O’Domnell, represented Whiting at Gary and won second place. Continuing with as rapid advancement as we have had in the past years, we hope to be very satisfactory Seniors in 1921. —Margaret Lynn.
